Good FOR YOU!!! Wow, my roommate and I were just talking about this the other night...Im only 23 and I hated highschool for these reasons! I was never "nerdy" but I was never "popular" either. (Whatever "popular" means!)but I was fortunate to have older friends...my best friend is 5 years older than me and it just goes up from there.., so all they would ever tell me is that kids just don't know any better. I've since learned (and I wish that more teenagers would believe it) that just letting things role of your back and don't put ANY energy into them teasing you because ultimately time is all we have and no one should waste it on ridiculous and meaningless bullies! Life is too short and when you look back on your experiences in life you will want to say "you know I tried my best and I was myself" Don't let bored, lonely, insecure teenagers ruin your day or especially how you feel about yourself! My dad is a psychiatrist and he always says" when you point a finger rememember there are 3 fingers pointing back at YOU! Time is too precious! Look at your bully, smile, and walk away! Trust me, I wish I would've known what I know now!
